man had come here from another city
and instigated this thing and the only
thing / had ever knowingly done in
violation of law, was to permit this
came person to 60 before the Grand
Jury when his own conduct vas being
investigated. That | had said to the
Grand Jury that there was no law for
it, but that if he desired to say any
thing they had better hear it, and it
might save him and his friends some
humiliation and the county and State
some costs. A friend of mine, Capt.
Gardener, has since told me that Mr..
Buckner said he did not go before the
Grand Jury, but that as he passed
by the door to their room, which was
ajar, they called him in and asked him
about what he knew and he told them
nothing more than the records show
ed; that Mr.. Buckner further said that
he entertained no unkind feeling
against me, and had once thought of
of writing to me to that effect, but on
reflection. thought he had better not
do so; but hat If he could give Geo.
Robertson a black eye, or something to
that effect, he would do SO.
I desire to say further that | don't
know what view you gentlemen take
of this investigation, but | have this
request to make of you: l hope you
will report fully and in detail, and state
whether you find anything wrong in our
conduct, either exculpate US oil
state wherein we have acted
wrong. My reputation is worth
as much to me as any mans,
and it has been assailed in this way and
I have no other means of seeking a
v%indication or making known the facts,
and l hope you will report fully and LEI
the public know whether / have done
anything wrong or not.

in his paper, but l don't know whether
he has published anything for the ex'
press purpose of injuring me or not.

The Response.

One result Of the Ohio election which
the Cleveland leaders and spoilers espec-
tally desired, was the defeat of Foraker,
who had been 40 shamelesslv insulted in
Philadelphia, where courtesy and common
decency should have excluded all signs of
partizan bitterness by those who chance
10 occupy the official high places of the
Nation. The brilliant Ohio governor who
had served his country on the battlefield
could not quietly endorse the official out
rage of sending back the rebel flags, and
said so in plain Saxon language There
fore when The opportunity presented itself,
where the gallant Foraker could not speak,
he and his wife had inflicted on them Il
fragrant insult, to which the public senti-
ment and patriotic voters of Ohio have
properly responded. \ fair question for
MugWumps and Grover to answer is---has
the notorious display of semi-oiiicia dis
courtsey paid? And Gordon of Georgia
may help answer the question.

thinks the New York election has made

1855. We fully agree with the Herald.
and this conclusion is highly satisfactory
to thoughtful and well informed Republic

But in the same editorial the Herald
shows its mortal dread of the candidate of
1881, of the other side, whom that paper
has killed of more than a hundred times
the past ten years. Ii is notorious truth.

that they have no fears of certain

The Sabbath and Temperance in New

FRIENDS OF TEMPERANCE REJOICE


The president of the Local Option and Sab
League has sent out this letter
To all friends Of Locat Option throughout
the State Of NeT FORK
BROTHERS The election is over and the
results call upon Us to thank God and take
courage" for everything really vital to our
cause has been saved, as the party pledged to
Local Optioa by counties has secured twenty
one Of the thirty -three senators and seventy
two Of the l2s assemblymen, making a clear
majority of twenty-seven on joint ballot
Such a result under all the circumstances is
wonderful. There was first of all the demo-
cratic party backed By the saloons, the per
sonal liberty party with corruption fund of
half million dollars and the prohibition or
third party (better known in the West as the
democratic aid society, msrepresenting
everywhere the past action and present posi-
ton of the republican party, and yet the g.
q. p, which saved the cause of liberty in 'Gl ,
has saved the American Sabbath in 81, and
offered To US local option by counties, which
is the best thing possible in the present stage
of the temperance reform.
But while this much has been secured our
work is only just begun and we need organi-
cation in every town throughout the State, so
that we may move in a solid phalanx on these
two lines, local option by counties and the
preservation of the American Sabbath.
